Husky men’s basketball signs four

Published 3:25 pm Friday, November 14, 2008

As expected, the Huskies announced today that four players have signed letters of intent to play basketball at Washington starting next season.

The class is highlighted by Abdul Gaddy, a 6-foot-3 point guard from Tacoma who is ranked by most recruiting services as the No. 2 point guard in the nation. Gaddy had planned to go to Arizona, but de-committed after it was announced that Lute Olson was stepping down for health reasons. His signing bumps Washington’s class up among the nation’s elite, with Scout.com ranking it as No. 10 in the country.

Joining Gaddy in this year’s signing class are Clarence Trent, a 6-7 forward from Gig Harbor, C.J. Wilcox, a 6-5 guard from PLeasant Grove, Utah, and Charles Garcia, a 6-9 forward from Los Angeles who is transfering in from Riverside Community College.

I’ll be back later with some comments from Lorenzo Romar on this class.
